What's happening now – shift from western to Chino-India is similar to what was happening in the 50s and 60s – western to soviet. Except of course, this time the shift is an economic one and not communism. And moreso, technology has made it possible for the youth to be fully engaged in business and less reliant on the government and hence they are less interested in joinging military regimes.
Yes, some of us have to reconsider what we're doing in the western world. The earlier we return the better. That will happen naturally, what we're seeing happen in China and India – more and more Chinese and Indians returning to their home countries, respectively.
If the people are less and less dependent on their governments but instead engaged in business activities, the western world's aid will become less important and economic partnerships will take hold.
Africa is stable as a whole but we're made to think it's not. The chances of being blown apart in a hotel or club in Asia is greater than in Africa. There was a recent report from the World Economic Forum, Davos that discussed this – and concluded that Africa enjoys more stability than Asia. However, this positive reports on Africa do not make headlines in the media. What is even sad is the African media don't run with news like this. No, they want to report on Prince what engagement to Kate.

I'm struggling here in London reporting to young colleagues who have less than half my level of education. And looking at what' s happening in ghana, Nigerian, or SA, some of us will go back and still have Indian, Parkistani, or chinese as our bosses. The earlier we think about that, the better.

And the cycle continues
